Why am I fat? I could blame genetics - both of my parents are overweight. I could blame circumstance - I am broke and it really is harder to buy healthy foods to feed a family on our strictly limited budget. This little boy is only a year older than Jonas, and I don't want Jonas to think of me as the fat mommy. I don't want to be the fat mommy. I don't want Jonas teased for having the fat mommy like I was when I was little. I want to be fit. I want to be the cool mommy, the fun mommy, the hot mommy.
I told this little boy that I was fat because I eat too much. And I do. And I don't move enough, and I don't eat quality food. And a host of other things that really just boil down to excuses. But I will not be the fat mommy forever. I am working, and changing, and committed. I have running shoes,
and a plan :)
Right now I may be the fat mommy, but this fat mommy can run. And soon I will be the fit mommy.
My mom was always heavy too and I said that I'd never be the "fat" mommy.

You definitely can be the fit mommy! And I don't see a "fat mommy"...I see a motivated mommy. Keep doing all you can and taking it one decision at a time. :)
ReplyDeleteYou sure will be a fit mommy!! Great thing about it is, that you know exactly when you are coming from and exactly where you are going. Keep up the awesome work!
